Honhardt Office
The Office Honhardt was until 1803 one of seven municipal offices of the Imperial City Hall , today Schwäbisch Hall in northern Baden-Württemberg .
The Honhardt office was far to the south-east of the Halle territory, outside the Haller Landhege . The Haller Spital was the beneficiary and landlord of the office . The official area went well beyond the boundaries of today's district, the previous municipality of Honhardt. In 1803 the office had 1708 inhabitants. Its seat was the moated castle in Honhardt. The place is now part of the community of Frankenhardt in the Schwäbisch Hall district .
The offices of the imperial city Hall collected the taxes of the subjects. In the individual places, other rulers such as Brandenburg-Ansbach and the House of Hohenlohe often held parts of the rights.
With the end of the imperial city Hall, the castle passed into Württemberg state ownership and continued to serve as the official seat of the Württemberg Oberamt Honhardt for a few years , which was opened in 1810 in the Oberamt Crailsheim .
